The Lovely Carla Loading into Cary’s Lounge 04.12.25

The thing is to play. Yes. It helps to have a guitar (made in Japan), and a band (made in America) and a songwriting partner (also made in America).

We played in a friendly lounge in the City late yesterday afternoon. A gathering of the cool folks. Funny, we have been doing this kind of thing for years & years. Putting on a show with a collection of unique talents from all directions.

One of my long-gone collaborators would call this kind of thing the good work. Yes. Definitely good for the head, the heart, the soul. Connecting with other folks; mainly thru the music, thru the vibes.

I don’t know what I would do with myself without this long-running creative journey. Probably sink into the mire. It is a mission & an antidote. A good way to vaccinate oneself from the shitshow, and the relentless cascading line of B.S.emanating from new Terror-Dome Regime.

You know, putting on a show. A little thing, everything.- Jammer

This ad campaign running on the streets of London? Absolutely brilliant. An amazing series of ads. Truly creative and provocative and on-the-money. Darkly-hilarious too. It’s from the group Everybody Hates Elon. The good folks in Britain are pretty wised-up on Nazis, and the hard-right, white-supremacy movement. Many still-living humans have vivid memories of bombs raining down on London in World War II. Dark times in the last century. 

It’s quite the unbuilding the brand idea. Once Tesla’s brand ambassodor revealed his Nazi-sympathies, the process of unbuilding, dismantling, destroying the brand took hold. What’s great, it’s a serious, non-violent, movement. Using advertising is just so elegant & perfect.

It folds in nicely with the Telsa Takedown movement in the USA. Divest from Telsa stock. Sell or trash your Tesla automobile. It’s funny the Tesla was the darling of wealthy, environmentally-conscious, progressives in America. Then, Musk revealed himself, and declared war on the “woke mind virus.” It turns out that the rich woke-folk were his best customers and investors.

The stock is tanking. The cars are crashing. It became obvious that the stock price and the car company were madly, wildly, super-over-inflated. Sort of a shiny, techy, Ponzi scheme. As someone remarked: “Telsa is no longer a car company, it’s a bank for Fascists.”  Reality is now rearing it’s ugly head. 

Musk then multiplied the damage by going after Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security programs here in the States. Something about an over-amped billionaire attacking the social safety net of the common folks just doesn’t sit right.

How does this all end? Who knows?! It is gratifying to watch the stock price tumble. Can’t wait for the next ads to drop. People Power. It is an awesome and inspiring phenomenon. – Jammer

This is on today. We are doing it. Or in this case, not doing it. The action of no action. Kind of Zen. The moment I read about it, I thought it was a brilliant & elegant idea. Perfect for America. We are such world-class consumers. Let’s be a bit disciplined, and show the world our power by not shopping. Soft power, yes. but, who knows, if enough people participate, maybe the world will notice? That is how movements start? Right?

Why are we doing this? The madness emanating out of the New Fascist Terror Dome Regime and their attack on Americans; the bullshit, and toxic lies, the cruel crusade against DEI and good government. They are trying to hollow out our government and empower the new asshole brigade. And some of our most successful corporations seem to be cheering them on. WE ARE AGAINST IT!

Some folks have belittled this boycott as “performative,”  I find that hilarious. Is it just for show? Sure. But think about it. Every act of opposition, every protest, every boycott, hell, every vote or speech is performative. 

Is it useless? Pointless? Who knows? It will feel good for the folks who do it. It is actually doing something in the face of the new fascism. How many will join? Will anyone notice? Good questions. I guess we will find out. 

Still, every protest started small. Every boycott. To cite some famous examples. One person sat at a drugstore counter and refused to leave. One person refused to sit in the back of the bus. One person posted #BlackLIvesMatter, and a world-wide movement happened. One person suggested boycotting the South African Apartheid Goverment, and over time, the boycott brought the government down.

Isn’t that the glory of Democracy?  People Power in action. People standing up, or sitting down, having their voices heard, and astonishingly, somehow, someway, they change the world. A change of consciousness can happen in a flash of insight. Damn the torpedoes. – Jammer

Yes. It is true. The new Fascist Terror Dome Regime is ascendant at the moment. They are up front & center, goose-stepping around at home & abroad. Paraphrasing the funniest “Marxist” we know, Groucho: “We are against it!” Hell. We control the vertical & the horizontal. It is time to turn the channel on this anti-human, soul-killing, gob-smackingly-retrograde, nihilistic bullshit… – Jammer
